talian vowels (i vocali) are short, always pronounced very clearly, and are never

drawn out. The "glide" with which English vowels frequently end should be
avoided. It should be noted that a, i, u, are always pronounced the same way; e
and o, on the other hand, have an open and a closed sound that may vary from
one part of Italy to the other.

Also, when vowels are grouped together in a word, they are always pronounced
separately.

The approximate English equivalents are as follows:

 a-A: This letter denotes a single sound, whose pronunciation is always


similar to an English a in cat, fact, black; an "o" in how, cloud, house,
mouse. Also, It sounds like the word “a” in the English word ah! Examples:

o Casa  »  house.
o Amore  »  love.
o Fama  »  fame.
o Pasta  »  pasta, dough, pastry.

 e-E: This vowel has two pronunciations:

As an English “a” in hay, layer, may (this is popularly called a narrow "e" or
closed "e")

o Bere   »  to drink.


o e   »  and.
o Fede  »  faith.
o Me  »  me.

As an English "e" in send, met, tent, hen (this one is popularly called a wide "e"
or open "e").

o Bene  »  well.
o Vento  »  wind.
o è  »  is.
o Festa  »  party; holiday.

 i-I: This  vowel always sounds as an English y in yellow, troyan. A similar


sound is that of English ee in fleet, seem, but the length of the Italian
sound is shorter. Examples:

o Invidiare  »  to envy.
o Bimbo  »  child.
o Libro  »  book.
o Vino  »  wine.

 o-O: This vowel has two pronunciations:

Always as an English "o", in some cases with a "narrow" or "closed" sound as in


blow, soul, row. Examples:

o Dono   »  gift.
o Mondo  »  world.
o Nome  »  name.
o o  »  or.

Sometimes with a "wide" or "open" sound as in cloth, spot, dog. Examples:

 Moda  »  fashion.
 No  »  no.
 Brodo  »  broth.
 Olio  »  oil.

 u-U: This vowel’s sound is similar to an English "u" in rule or "w" in win,


rowing. But u is a vowel, while w is a consonant. Examples:

o Fungo  »  mushroom.
o Luna  »  moon.
o Lungo  »  long.
o Uno  »  one.

Diphthongs Triphthongs & Word Elision:


In italian a diphthong is formed by any vowel preceded or followed by an
unstressed closed vowel ('i' or 'u'):ia, ie, io, ai, ei, oi, ua, ue, uo, au, eu, ou, iu, ui.
They are always pronounced maintaining the sounds of the individual vowels,
and the closed vowel plays the role of a semivowel or a glide. 

talian has the same consonants that English does. You pronounce some of them
the same way, but the rest have noteworthy differences. 

Additionally, the modern Italian alphabet has less letters than the English one: J,
K, W, X and Y do not occur in native terms. Nevertheless, these letters do
appear in dictionaries, for archaic spellings, and for a few foreign and
international terms officially adopted in Italian, as well. 

The consonants b, f, m, n, v are pronounced as in English. The


approximate English equivalents are as follows: 

 B Always as an English b. Example:


 Bene  »  well.
 Bambino  »  Child

 F Always as an English f in fame, knife, flute, but never as in of. Example:


 Fare  »  To make
 Famoso  »  famous

 H is completely soundless; never as in house, hope, hammer; but as in


heir, honest. H is written in some form of the verb avere to have, in few
other Italian words, and mainly in foreign words and names. Examples:
 Ho  »  (I) have.
 Hai  »  (you) have.
 Ha  »  (he / she / it) has.
 Hanno  »  (they) have.
 Ahi!  »  (interj) ouch!.
 Hotel  »  hotel.

 L is sharper and more forward in the mouth than in English, similar to l in
link.  Examples:
 Olio  »  oil
 Lingua  »  language
 Sale  »  salt
 Lungo  »  long
 Melone  »  melon
 Luna  »  moon
 Scuola  »  school

 M Always as an English m. Examples:


 Madre  »  Mother

Stress is the audible accent that you put on a syllable as you speak it. One
syllable always gets more stress than all the others. Although there is no strict
rule, in most Italian words the accent or stress falls on the penultimate syllable.
But for this rule there are too many exceptions.
In Italian, only vowels have accents. All vowels at the end of a word can have this
accent (`), but only the “e” can have both (`) and (´). The difference lies only in
the pronunciation. That is, è is pronounced very open, as in “hell”, whereas é is
more closed, as in “gourmet”. Here are some examples:

 Caffè ("kahf-feh")  »  coffee
 Città ("cheet-tah")  »  city
 Lunedì ("loo-neh-dee")  »  Monday
 Perché ("pehr-keh")  »  why; because
 Però ("peh-roh")  »  but
 Università ("oo-nee-vehr-see-tah")  »  university
 Virtù ("veer-too")  »  virtue

Is very unusual for Italian words to be spelt with accented letters, with very few
exceptions discussed further in this page.

In ordinary spelling accented vowels are allowed, but very seldom used. Only in
two cases accented vowels are commonly used:

 Words whose last syllable carries the accent:

There are many words of this kind in Italian (nouns, verb inflections, adverbs,
etc.), and some are frequently used. An accent is compulsory in this case,
otherwise the stress would not be heard. Furthermore, in some cases the same
word spelt without an accent even has a different meaning (see further down). A
few words with a similar spelling, but whose last syllable is not stressed, are
shown on the right:

 Perché  »  why, because


 Sarà   »  it will be   (Sara   »  Sarah, a name)
 Perciò  »  therefore
 Papà  »  dad   (Papa   »  pope)
 Però  »  but, however   (Pero   »  pear-tree)
 Farò  »  I'll do   (Faro   »  light-house)
 Più  »  more, plus

Also several compounds of che (pronounced "ke", meaning which, that) are spelt
with an accent:

 Perché  »  why, because


 Poiché  »  because
 Benché  »  despite
 Giacché  »  since
 Sicché  »  so, therefore etc.
 Words that have a different meaning depending on the position of
the accent:

A few words have a different meaning when different syllables carry the accent.
Note that the stress is in the underlined syllable:

 àncora "ahnkohrah"  »  anchor (noun)


 ancòra "ahnkohrah"  »  again, more (adverb)

 règia "rehjah"  »  royal (adjective)


 regìa "rehjyhah"  »  direction of a movie or a play (noun)

 capitàno "kahpytahnoh"  »  captain (noun)


 càpitano "kahpytahnoh"  »  they happen, they occur (verb)

 làvati "lahvahtih"  »  wash yourself


 lavàti "lahvahtih"  »  masculine plural of washed

In this case, accents are not mandatory; in most cases they are not used,
therefore the correct pronunciation of the word is understood only by the context
of the phrase: for instance, considering the third couple of sample words, in
sentences such as "sometimes strange things happen" or "he is the captain of
the ship", neither of the two words could be mistaken with the other.

In Italian, as well as all the other Romance languages (French, Spanish, etc), all
nouns have a gender and a number associated with them. The article indicates
gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) of the noun.

"il"-"lo" are the definite article that corresponds to masculine nouns. Examples:

 il professore  »  the teacher.
 il telefono  »  the phone.
 il vecchio zio  »  the old uncle.

“la” is the definite article that corresponds to feminine nouns. Examples:

 la casa  »  the house.
 la tavola  »  the table.
 la finestra  »  the window.

When using nouns, you must make sure that you use the correct gender and
number when using an identifier. The identifiers are il, lo, la, i, gli, le, un, uno and
una. Il, lo and la are singular definite articles, which means you are talking about
a specific thing. Examples:
 La sedia  »  the chair (you are talking about a specific chair)
 Il telefono è verde  »  The telephone is green.
 La parete è brutta  »  The wall is ugly.

The use of these identifiers is identical to the way you would say it in English - if
you want to say "a table", use una, and if you want to say "the table", use la.

"i" and "gli" are the plural of "il" and "lo", and "le" is the plural of "la". You use
these plural definite articles when you are talking about several specific members
of a group. There are no plural forms of uno and una, and to translate "some"
when used in sentences, one must use indeterminate pronouns. Examples

 Le stanze sono grandi  »  The rooms are big.


 Delle sedie sono in cucina  »  Some chairs are in the kitchen.
 Gli stessi ragazzi  »  the same boys
 Dei tavoli  »  some tables.

» Italian Definite Article: la - lo - il 


» Italian Indefinite Article: una - uno - un

Noun (nome) is a person, place, or thing. Nouns have endings that change


depending on the gender and number. So, the ending of an Italian noun reveals
its gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural).

  Singular Plural
il piatto bianco (the white plate) i piatti bianchi (the white plates)
MASC.
il cane grande (the large dog) i cani grandi (the large dogs)
la pizza calda (hot pizza) le pizze calde (hot pizzas)
FEM.
la carne tenera (tender meat) le carni tenere (tender meats)

Nouns often are accompanied by a masculine or feminine definite article (In


english: "The"): il, lo, la (singular); i, gli, le (plural). Indefinite articles (Like the
English a, an, some) - un, una (singular). However, As in English, there's no
indefinite articles for plural nouns.

Noun Gender:
In English, a vast majority of nouns are neutre (masculine and feminine are only
used for human beings or for animals), while articles and adjectives have no
gender at all. In Italian instead, nouns, adjectives and articles too are either
masculine or feminine, but never neutre.

Noun Number:
For nouns, the number (whether the word is singular or plural) works exactly as
in English: the singular form is used when referring to one subject and the plural
form when referring to two or more. But in Italian also adjectives and articles are
number-sensitive, whereas in English only the noun changes; while in Italian also
the article and the adjective would be turned in plural form.

Personal pronouns are little words that replace persons or things: he, she, they,
it, me, her etc. Personal pronouns can play the role of subjects or be in a
different role. For instance, in the sentence "I eat a food", "I" is a subject, but in
the sentence "That lion wants to eat me", "me" is the object.

Other pronouns (not personal) also replace nouns, with a more specific usage.
For instance, this can replace a noun, with a meaning similar to it (or he/she),
e.g. in the sentence this is good for you.

The types of object pronouns are:

   » Italian subject pronouns  


   » Italian object pronouns  
   » Italian possessive pronuns  
   » Italian relative pronouns

Subject Pronouns: Subject Pronouns are often omitted, since the verb form
indicates the subject:

o Ho freddo  »  I'm cold

Since the endings of conjugated verb forms indicate person and number, subject
pronouns may be omitted in Italian except when necessary: (1) for clarity, (2)
when modified by anche (also), or (3) when emphasis or contrast is desired.
Examples:

o Io ho freddo  »  I, for my part, am cold


o Lui detesta il film  »  He hates the movie
o Vorrebbe Lei venire con me?  »  Would you like to come with me?

It and they referring to things are almost never used in Italian and need not be
translated. Below you can see a table with subject pronouns:

Persons Singular Plural


1st. person io » I noi » we
2nd. person familiar tu » you voi » you
2nd. person polite* Lei » you Loro » You
3rd. person

loro » them
lui » him
lei »her loro » them
esso » it (m.) essi » them (m.)
essa » it (f.) esse » them (f.)

In modern Italian he, she, and they are usually expressed by lui, lei, and loro,


respectively. (Egli, ella, essi, and esse are used more in written Italian than in the
spoken language. Esso and essa are seldom used.) Examples:

o Tu ricevi una cartolina  »  You receive a postcard


o Io arrivo alle otto  »  I arrive at 8
o Lui entra in aula  »  He enters to the classroom
o Sono felice  »  We are happy

Personal pronouns are the only part of the sentence in which Italian makes a
distinction between masculine/feminine and neutre. Neutre gender is used for
objects, plants and animals except man; but this distinction does not cause any
important change, because all other parts of the sentence (nouns, verb
inflections, adjectives, etc.) do not have a neutre gender, which is simply handled
by using either masculine or feminine.

Object Pronouns: Object Pronouns are either direct or indirect, and cannot


stand alone without a verb.  The direct object receives the action of the verb
directly while the indirect object is indirectly affected by it.

 Direct Object Pronouns


 Indirect Object Pronouns

(*) Note that second person polite form pronouns are capitalized.

Prepositions are short words which express conditions, directions, specifications,


such as of, over, to, from, etc.
Prepositions are those little words that mark places in space or time. When
prepositions are used together with definite articles, the preposition and the
article are sometimes condensed into a single word. When they are not followed
(and bound) to articles, they are called "simple prepositions".

Simple prepositions: They are words that aren't followed by articles. Simple


prepositions are:
di (d’) » of a » to da » from, by, since
in » in con » with tra, fra » between

A verb is a part of speech that usually denotes action (bring, read), occurrence
(to decompose (itself), to glitter), or a state of being (exist, live, soak, stand). 

Depending on the language, a verb may vary in form according to many factors,
possibly including its tense, aspect, mood and voice. It may also agree with the
person, gender, and/or number of some of its arguments (what we usually call
subject, object, etc.). Examples:

o Vado in Italia con la mia famiglia  »  I will go to Italy with my family.


o Il biglietto costa 2200 dollari australiani  »  The ticket costs 2200 australian
dolars.
o Faccio studiare i ragazzi  »  I make the boys study.
o Noi studiamo sempre  »  We always study.
o Vuole anche questo libro  »  He wants that book, too.
o Le fragole sono dolcissime  »  Strawberries are very sweet.
o Questa arancia è molto buona  »  This orange is very good.
o Lei parla piano piano  »  She speaks very softly
In Italian language, most verbs end in a common pattern, such as -are, -ere, and
-ire. These are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd conjugations respectively. This classification
method is very similar to spanish conjugation, where the pattern is -ar, -er and -ir
for the three conjugations. Here some Italian conjugation examples:
